„Ich stehe morgens auf. Ich lese Zeitung, und wenn dort nicht steht, dass ich gefeuert bin, gehe ich ins Büro.“ #Mattis galt seinerzeit als einer der letzten „Erwachsenen“ im Umfeld Trumps.“
Die Zeit der Erwachsenen ist wohl vorbei in den USA.

For weeks, Mattis had been resisting requests from the White House to provide military options for Iran. Now Trump made clear that he wanted the Pentagon to deliver a range of plans that included striking Iranian ballistic missile factories or hitting Iranian speedboats that routinely harassed U.S. Navy vessels. "Why can't we sink them?" Trump would sometimes ask about the boats. National security adviser H.R. McMaster and his staff laid out the president's request for Mattis in a conference call, but the defense secretary refused, according to several U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations. At that point, McMaster took Mattis off speakerphone, cleared his staff from the room and continued the conversation. "It was clear that the call was not going well," one official said. In the weeks that followed, the options never arrived.
The good old days of mad Trump’s first term when competent Administration officials knew how to handle his suggestions. Ignore them. Nowadays, they just carry out his orders. #r4today #Mattis #Venezuela
There are NO longer any guardrails!
During Trump’s 1st term,the first 2 yrs weren’t terrible because of the Generals… #JohnKelly #Mattis & McMaster’s as well as others, plus we had responsible members of Congress,like Romney & LizCheney! Now we have NO One in the GOP willing to do the Right Thing!

This is a REALLY important question. Where are the Generals and Admirals? Also, if current military leadership won’t speak out, will any of our retired Generals do so? Secretary #Mattis? General #Milley? Someone? Anyone?
I would really like to hear from #Milley #Mattis #McMaster and, because he’s awesome & I enjoy alliteration, #McChrystal and any other generals that are willing to say using the military for civilian policing operations is not cool and using force against the citizenry would be an Oath violation.
I would love to see #Generals #Mattis #JohnKelly #McMasters and others speak out against Trump’s authoritarian behavior!
Trump is tearing apart our Country! Trump’s Gestapo is illegal!!!
Trump is an Idiot! All the #Generals that were in his cabinet during his 1st Administration said so and quit within the first 2 years! #McMasters #Mattis #JohnKelly
Even Rex Tillerson said He’s a F***ing Moron!
Samen met #MichaelBoogerd en fietsvrienden van #Mattis fiets ik op 5 juni voor Alpe d'HuZes een aantal keer de Alpe d'Huez op. Bijgaande video vertelt een belangrijk verhaal. Laten we ervoor zorgen dat er geen kleine kinderen meer hoeven op te groeien zonder vader.

Es brodelt schon. "Mad Dog" #Mattis und Ex-Minister Lloyd #Austin stellen sich gegen #Trump quer.

Im #Pentagon knirscht es schon Gebälk, geschasste #Offiziere und Ex-Führungskräfte wie "Mad Dog" #Mattis und Lloyd #Austin stellen sich gegen #Trump und seine Konsorten.

And #Trump again achieves a new low. Five former Secretaries of Defense, including James #Mattis who served as Secretary of #Defense during Trumps firsf term, harshly criticied Trump's political purge of top #Generals and #Admirals. #military #dod #readiness

#Trump once again makes clear that he picks senior officials in part because of their nicknames. During his first term, he constantly noted that James Mattis, his defense secretary, was called “Mad Dog” — a nickname that #Mattis actually detested. Today, Trump gushed that his choice to become […]
#Mattis was a real mental midget. #Trumplard operates on the level of a 4 yo that was never potty trained. The fact that #Mattis thinks he's comparable with a 10-11 yo shows how stupid this guy is. And did I mention he was a coward?

We have just one ace up our sleeves, and that's #Mattis. The military pretty much worships him, from what I've heard, and there's a good reason for that: he is, was, and will always be Team America. And he'll warn his troops not to do something illegal, and they'll listen. So will Milley.
THE CONSCIENCE OF
US GENERALS
What consideration will guide the actions of US generals under #Trump?
a. I will not risk my rank and pay grade.
b. I have sworn an oath on the constitution.
#USArmy #Musk #Thiel #Mattis #Pentagon
One possibly hopeful thing occurs to me:
The military is extremely loyal to the Constitution, and to their Generals. From what I've heard, most of them practically genuflect to #Mattis, and he will definitely never comply with any crap from Stump. I bet this is true of Millie and McMasters, too.
#Mattis is one bad ass Marine!
Recalling Trump's disastrous first Pentagon briefing: "From my vantage point, #Mattis was playing a game of chess against a president fixated on 'Rock, Paper, Scissors'." #MondayMotivation @jilevin @docrocktex26
